Vu Pham 86f5d0f3d4 net/mlx5: Introduce egress acl forward-to-vport capability
Add HCA_CAP.egress_acl_forward_to_vport field to check whether HW
supports e-switch vport's egress acl to forward packets to other
e-switch vport or not.

By default E-Switch egress ACL forwards eswitch vports egress packets
to their corresponding NIC/VF vports.

With this cap enabled, the driver is allowed to alter this behavior
and forward packets to arbitrary NIC/VF vports with the following
limitations:

   a. Multiple processing paths are supported if all of the following
      conditions are met:
      - HCA_CAP.egress_acl_forward_to_vport is set ==1.
      - A destination of type Flow Table only appears once, as the
        last destination in the list.
      - Vport destination is supported if
        HCA_CAP.egress_acl_forward_to_vport==1. Vport must not be
        the Uplink.
   b. Flow_tag not supported.
   c. This table is only applicable after an FDB table is created.
   d. Push VLAN action is not supported.
   e. Pop VLAN action cannot be added concurrently to this table and
      FDB table.

This feature will be used during port failover in bonding scenario
where two VFs representors are bonded to handle failover egress traffic
(VM's ingress/receive traffic).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
